California police are continuing new threads in the case of a child who died after his parents abandoned a religious sect under investigation due to a possible murder related to a former member.
Timothy Thomas, 4 years old, died in January 2010, the police said in a press statement on Thursday, without the participation of circumstances. A judge of San Bernardino Province included the cause of death as “natural”.
The police said: “At the time of his death, a temporary nursery was signed … from his parents to the leaders of” Way Spirit Ladblies “.
On Tuesday, the authorities in Ridlands, a neighboring city in San Bernardino Province, announced that the husband and wife who lead the group had been arrested regarding the disappearance of 2023 for Emilio Ghanem.
Ghanem, 40, was a member of Way Way Spirit Groups about 20 years ago, but he left the group shortly before his disappearance, according to the family. The last time was seen in Starbucks in Redlands on May 25, 2023.

“These circumstances are that we are investigating this as a possible killing,” Redlands Police spokesman Carl Baker told KTLA this week.
The group leaders were arrested after the police served inspection orders in Laguna Hills on August 14. Daril Mosic Martin, 57, from Hemate, is facing illegal weapons, while his wife, Chile Billy “Cat”, Martin, 62, was later released due to a medical ring.
Two other people were also arrested for firearms.
A former group member, who did not want to know the words, told KTLA that Martin is going to the title of “the Prophet”.

In April 2023, family members say that Ganim left the group and Volced and moved to Tennessee to reunite the family and start his pest control. He returned to California in May to create the satellite office, according to the family, angered its leaders.
“He was in California to contact potential customers,” Baker told KTLA. “We know that he received a letter to stop and desist from the group or from the pest control company that warns him against contacting its customers.”
